what a game eh?! and why is it we always play well against the Villa but can never manage to beat them in recent times? this game was no exception although to be fair they played their part and were dangerous for most of the game as reflected in the score.
would it have been any different if Becks 'goal' off the underside of the bar had been given? maybe so - it was a bit unforgivable though of our entire defence to fall asleep and let Bent run off the back of them straight after though. i thought we'd recalled Big Joey Yobo for a minute cos that was the sort of stuff he used to get up too. his movement was good no question but we shouldn't have just let him go and then start to panic when he was clean through.
great game & goal from ossie again though although i can't believe Friedel let his shot through - his wrist was limper than Louis Spences for that! great nerve from Bainsey too to put the Pen away to level it - all he needs is a haircut and he'll be alright ha ha :-)
